I live in a purpose built block of flats. Each flat has a gas meter located inside their flat, in the hall. Completely out of the blue we've received a letter from Cadent who are forcing us to have the gas meter moved to the outside balcony. No explanation as to why. It would mean having a gas pipe go through internal walls and onto the balcony. No one wants this. Can we be forced to have this work done?

doesn't it explain the technical necessity or legal basis for the work in the letter.
i'm guessing it is a health and safety upgrade, possibly linked to recent events re fires in blocks of flats.
i doubt you can refuse the work.
they will probably get a court order if necessary and bill you for the extra costs.
do you have a residents' association?
